Tee Higgins going foward.

However, Green has something that Higgins doesn't have: another gear that kicks in when a deep ball's in the air. 
In my years of watching the Bengals, only Chris Henry matched (or beat) Green's deep ball speed (Isaac Curtis beat them both but he was truly special).
Unfortunately for Green, he had Dalton, not Palmer or Burrow, for the deep ball.

Henry had Palmer, whose arm gave Slim 15 more yards to separate from coverage. Higgins has Burrow, who has great placement and timing. Green had Dalton, who constantly underthrew or misplaced balls that required significant adjustments by Green. I can't imagine Green's YAC numbers with better ball placement.

Green's numbers would have been scary with a quarterback who better matched his skill set.

Yes Green had a 2nd gear. Only bested by Curtis Henry and Eddie Brown. 
I think the one area of Higgins game people overlook
Is he really is.good at breaking tackles after the catch
I think also Higgins has a little bit more swag in his
Game than Green. I.think at times AJ let CBers
Get in.his head at times.
